Depth builds slowly in the 2006 Chateau Lafleur, shifting from restrained dark berries and red currant to hints of dried flowers, graphite and earthy savor. The palate is intense yet composed, with firm, tightly woven tannins, vibrant acidity and layers of cool-toned fruit that drive a remarkably persistent, mouth-coating finish. This is a serious, structured Lafleur that rewards patience and attentive drinking.

Château Lafleur by Château Lafleur is one of Pomerol’s most coveted and rare reds, a tiny 4–4.5 ha “boutique” grand vin planted in an unusually equal mix of Merlot and Cabernet Franc (Bouchet) on a complex mosaic of clay- and gravel-based soils opposite Château Pétrus. This distinctive cépage and low-yield, rigorously traditional viticulture yield a powerful yet refined wine of great minerality, floral lift, and longevity, often described as among Bordeaux’s most individualistic and ageworthy wines.
